I was given a Kenmore a few weeks ago (deceased estate garage sale). It only came with the straight stitch plate and was missing the light (and switch). I cleaned and oiled it, and it (straight) sewed amazingly efficiently, not to mention quietly. Was forced to sell it due to an stupid excess of machines in very small house (you know what I mean, frudemoo), but my GF instantly recognised it as a good machine too.
I got a very large number of replies to the ad, so they must have some status.
The machine and cabinet both look good, so I would take a chance. Bear in mind that I love taking non-working machines apart and fixing what ails them.
